Team has to take one step back to take the next two forward. That step back involves getting younger and dumping some vets like Diggs even if they get a cap hit.
Except for the fact the D made a stop there at the end to get the ball back to Josh, who then led the offense down the field to almost tie the game if it weren’t for Bass, your theory about the players’ body language is spot on. Or not.
Yeah, I’m sad but not despondent. When they were 6-6 you had a feeling this year wasn’t the year. I give them credit for a great run to get to last night, but you can’t beat the Chiefs with so many guys hurt on D. Needed one more hero moment from Josh at the end but just couldn’t get it.
I think Houston wins. Jackson is not the same guy in the playoffs. The Lions have too much over the Bucs. And while I’ll pick the Niners I wouldn’t be surprised if the Pack wins - they’re playing with house money.
I think we need to drop the concept of #1 Wr, #2 WR, etc. It seems clear Brady designs plays to try and get specific guys open depending on the defense. One play it might be a TE, one play Diggs, another Shakir. And so on.
